Execution note

3. DEVELOP IT INFRASTRUCTURE

This deliverable will be achieved by the activity 3.2 “Develop IT Infrastructure”.

3.1. Specify, purchase and install the necessary equipment and software

MASTIS labs is planned to be integrated into PC Universities infrastructure to amplify their training

capacity generally and to support the MASTIS project activity particularly.

For fulfilling these tasks, it is necessary: 1) making equipment needs analyses; 2) purchasing necessary

equipment, 3) installing & testing equipment; 4) training technical stuff in equipment operation and

maintenance. These activities are performing by PC project team including academic staff, IT experts

and trainers. Complete set of MPIS e-learning components, video-materials, MASTIS platforms with

statistics of users; MASTIS labs at 8 PC universities working in accordance with timetable can serve as

indicators of progress.

Procedure applied: The purchase of this equipment will be financed by the coordinator. However, the individual purchase will be managed by each partner in accordance with the internal procedures of the coordinator. In addition to that, the Grant agreement, the Guidelines for use of grant must be taken into an account. Each partner must proceed to the public tender in order to find a supplier of requested material. Before the public tender publication, each partner must follow the procedure published in the the Guidelines for the use of grant in order to respect all exigencies of the EACEA related to public tender. In addition to that, each partner must provide the coordinator with at least 3 quotations from 3 different suppliers. Once the public tender will be achieved, a selected supplier will provide the coordinator with the final quotation stated in EUR and in the VAT free system. The 3 parties’ contract will be signed between the coordinator, the supplier and the partner university in Ukraine. The equipment will be delivered to the partner in Ukraine. After the reception of the material, the partner will send to the coordinator the acknowledgment receipt of the material together with the original of the invoice. The coordinator will then proceed to the payment of the invoice directly to the supplier. On the base of the invoice, the coordinator will proceed to the revision of the total amount of the actual costs assigned to the partner concerned. The difference between the foreseen actual cost and the real actual cost will be reimbursed to the EACEA. The coordinator will provide the partner with the necessary stickers with the logo of Erasmus + funding once the material has been delivered.

ERASMUS+ MASTIS WP3 handbook

Establishing Modern Master-level Studies in Information Systems

In order to justify the equipment costs, each partner needs to send to the coordinator the following documents:

Documents to be sent before the equipment purchase: § All documents proving that all exigencies of the public tender were respected § Copy of 3 quotations without the VAT and in EUR § Copy of any relevant documents that were sending to the ministry level in Ukraine.

Deadline: 2 months before equipment purchase

Documents to be sent after the equipment purchase: § An original of all invoices edited on the name of the University Lumière Lyon 2 (in EUR and VAT free system) § Copy of the public tender documents § Original of the Acknowledgement receipt of material (signed and stamped by the representing of the partners university) § Copy of inventory of the organisation § Photo of the material with the logo of the Erasmus+

Deadline: 1 month after the reception of the material at latest. Required Documents for equipment MASTIS from BILATERAL PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT 7.5.1 Equipment:

• collect at least three quotes from different equipment suppliers; • select the quote for the best value for money – minutes of the University on the blank + stamp; • send all quotes with required information to the Coordinator. 2. The agreement is signed for the purchase of equipment between the beneficiary and the supplier. 3. Engagement letter from Lyon 2 for supplier. 4. Final invoice must be edited on the name of the beneficiary university (delivery address) in “EUR”, excluding taxes in English. 5. A copy of the inventory OR the certificate signed by the Rector and proving that the equipment is a part of the inventory of the beneficiary university.

6. Acknowledgment receipt signed by the beneficiary university.

7. Photos of the material with the logo of Erasmus+.

8. Bank account details of the supplier in the international format (in agreement).

3.2. The Launch of Web-platform

We have to discuss suggestions about creating and supporting the MASTIS web-portal.

1. According to the first version of the Project Handbook proposition, MASTIS web-portal is designed for: 1) modelling multi-disciplinary & multiple-stakeholder training & research environment; 2) virtual seminars; 3) students’ project teamwork on-line; 4) project developers teamwork on-line 5) students’ “free university” communication; 6) cross-cultural communication of academic, professional, graduates, students to support sustainable interaction after project work. The work of many universities on a single server is not expedient due to issues concerning possible unexpected stops, the need to administrate for very large number of users as well as the needs of adapting the teaching materials to the peculiarities of the programs of different universities. All these issues could become very complicated to deal with, a better approach is for each teacher to solve all of these issues (and more if necessary)

ERASMUS+ MASTIS WP3 handbook

Establishing Modern Master-level Studies in Information Systems

individually, and more effectively through use of his university distance learning system that is habitual for him/her.

2. We suggest creating a portal as a platform to teachers’ collaboration: placement of educational materials, exchange of experience, discussion about common themes - for example, on the forum the discussion about masters training process analysis, etc. This goal is the most affordable and viable for finishing of the Project.

3. The portal should provide separate sections for recommended materials for each of the 8 already identified core courses. Moderation of such section is carried out by the partner that is responsible for the discipline - for example VNTU is moderating the block for the Information technology infrastructure discipline.

4. Besides the common materials, there should be included: the section of curricula’s of Ukrainian partners (+2 from Montenegro), links to additional external resources, toolboxes for checking the quality of learning outcomes (tests, tasks, questions for self-control, etc.).

5. According to the MASTIS documents (Handbook proposition and WPs Results Responsible), the launch of the portal is carried out by LTU and NTUU KPI (Partners P7 and P11).

3.3. Requirements to the Web portal and its structure

• Ability to create folders for 8 courses in accordance with section 4.

• Ability to publish educational materials in the formats of text, presentations, spreadsheets,

graphics, driving, videos, forms, maps, etc.

• Using calendars for learning processes.

• Publishing announcements, possibility to obtain student feedback.

• Possibility of placing separate sections of courses in sub-portals that are related to the main

educational Web portal MASTIS.

• For the sake of stability and reliability, it is desirable to use cloud technologies to create and

maintain a portal.

3.4. The procedure for administering the Web portal

• The super administrator and coordinator of the Web portal is KPI, on the site of which or on the

cloud the portal is placed.

• Persons responsible for sections receive the rights of its administrators.

• The sections administrators may invite and authorize the post / modification / deletion of

materials to other project participants.

• Students can access by link or by invitation. Should be resolved by the section administrator.

• Administrators if need have the opportunity to open communication with students - posts,

comments, etc.

4. DEVELOPING TEACHING MATERIALS

MASTIS Teaching Materials include Bologna-compliant Degree Profile, curriculum for MSc, courses for

PhD & LLL comprising in the framework of educational modularization. The framework of curriculum for

MSc provide for 8 core courses, elective professional courses, possible internships, participating in the

student's science conference and creating the MSc thesis. Each module includes hard & soft

competences training, self-testing and case studies from business (real assignments from IT companies).

Full circle is crowned by multidisciplinary project teamwork with used the famous software products or

environments. Every course is developed by PC experts’ team from 8 Universities.

ERASMUS+ MASTIS WP3 handbook

Establishing Modern Master-level Studies in Information Systems

Elective courses developed by each partner will be open at a distance for the students of the network.

The assessment will be done by partners’ University proposing the course. These elective courses will be

included in the Master Degree accreditation.

Course materials with presentations, lectures, e- & video components and self-testing are expected to

be indicators of progress.

Working schedules must have:

• A task for each topic;

• Software;

• Education methods;

• Ukrainian and English literature;

• Recent articles on the topic for discussion;

• Learning outcomes are specified for each course.

• Teaching materials, exercises, case studies and knowledge assessment are developed.

Courses can be flexibly used for MSc, PhD & LLL in the context of concrete needs. Every course unit has

definite structure including: description of course aims; glossary; lists of used & recommended

literature; introduction & summary; hyperlinks; questions & tasks for self-testing; answer keys.

Teaching materials and e-components will be included in the knowledge database.

Every partner sends all courses to company representatives, concentration on the course a partner is

responsible for. Then the means of participation of company representative are discussed (lectures,

trainings, etc.)

All teaching components should be translated in English.

4.1. Preparation and collection of teaching materials Each curriculum for each discipline must be prepared and placed in the appropriate section of the portal

by each partner before the 1st or 2nd semester of 2017-18 academic year.

accordingly)

This part uses economic, computer, mathematical science and/or sociological logic (and

potentially economic or theoretic models) to specify an alternative to the current solution and

to solutions proposed in the literature. Be sure to extensively defend how and why this solution

works.

• Conclusion

The conclusion is a summary of the main conclusions of the paper and comments about issues

that could be extended in future research.

• References: A complete bibliography

Throughout the class, drafts of the paper will be due. Each draft will be graded. All research papers

should be presented in class.

Establishing Modern Master-level Studies in Information Systems

Training of PhD & LLL students at the separate disciplines is carried out together with IS Masters

Students The results of the training do not require the receipt of official documents of the state sample,

it is enough to fix them into the individual curriculum and to give the certificates at the university level

to the PhD & LLL students.

5.3. Assessment the learning process for each category (MSc, PhD, LLL)

For all categories of students, it is necessary to draw up a control plan. Each Ukraine and Montenegro

partner should place this plan in the own university's section on the MASTIS Web portal (section 4).

We also should to develop:

− Instruction for piloting of course and a form of a report on piloting, highlighting the positive

features, features that need improvement.

− Instruction for course quality grading - before starting piloting.
